The river is falling rapidly t'day and
workmen are able to repair the Northern Pa-
ci6c bridge. No trains can run over the
bridge until Monday, but transfer is being
satisfactorily made by boats. Citizens OF
Mclean county bring the intelligence that
gorge seven miles below Washourn Is SIX
miles wide, and the water covers the prairie
for miles. If this is true the worst has not
come, and the present fall in the river here
ia simply the result of the upper gorge. Inc
Sibley gorge is firm. Snow has been raining
for IS hours, and this will greatly increase
The volume of water.
